30 Days of Thanks: Mental Stability & Letting Go (Day 6)

I feel like mental health isn’t talked about nearly as much as it should be. This is a topic we definitely have to stop treating as taboo. I was just thinking about what happened here in Texas yesterday and I really just don’t understand how people get to this point. I mean everyone gets fed up from time to time for sure, but how you handle your emotions when you get to this point is what needs to be discussed more often. On today, day six of my “30 Days of Thanks” short post series I’m thankful for my mental health. I’m a anti-social, introvert with anxiety and occasional depression issues, but I thank my parents, God and the Universe for equipping me with the strength to accept change and the wisdom to know when it’s time to let go. Two quotes that I always think about when I think about change and letting go is ”God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”, written by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr and ”If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.”, written by poet Maya Angelou.
